Well, I introduced Sebastian to the Great Spirit yesterday

[commander bunnypants]

at about 1230. The vet came over, it was warm and sunny and he loved the sun porch. So.. I took him out there and on his favorite blanket I took him on that journey. I lit some candles and played George Harrison. Very peaceful and nice but god I am missing him. I still am seeing him out of the corner of my eye. I just keep reminding myself I did the right thing. I will always love you my best friend. See you among the stars.......

1. Aw, man...

...yeah, you did the right thing, but it still sucks. :-( :pals:

2. Jon, I am so sorry. It hurts so much to say goodbye to these little

creatures. Big hugs to you today. He'll always be with you.

Hugs,Laura

3. I am so sad for you

You did do the right thing, but missing him is another story.

Love and Light to you-

4. Since you told me about this I have been thinking about our cats

and what that would be like. You know my cats and I met Seb and the whole thing seems surreal. I feel very sorry for you and I can only imagine what not have him around is like. You did the right thing, there is no reason for him to suffer.

5. you are a kind soul and did a great kindness for a dear friend

Be gentle with yourself. Carry your heart as tenderly as you cared for your friend.

check's in the mail

6. Most sincere condolences to you...

it sounds like you went as far as is possible to make his transition as easy as it could be. I commend you for taking the time to put him in comfortable surroundings. When I read your post, I went around and hugged all of mine. Hugs to you.:hug:

7. We should all

be so lucky to have someone start us on our journey in such a loving, quiet and gentle way. You did the right thing, you know that. Yours is the hard part. Peace.

8. You did the best you ,or anybody could.

and dont forget the cause of death is simply life. Celebrate what you shared, his life could have been alot worse had it not been for you.

its so hard to part.

9. So sad.....yet joyous to love a creature so much to give him such

a loving farewell......

11. You'll continue to "see" him

for a long time. I still "see" and "feel" my Thomas (went through the same thing about a year-and-a-half ago). However, take heart. You're an animal lover and don't be surprised if another animal finds his/her way to your doorstep.

About a month after we had to put my Thomas down (I was inconsolable), I was looking out onto the patio and lo-and-behold, there were two, feral, starving, bedraggled kittens looking for something to eat. They've since been assimilated with my other 3 cats, have had their shots, are spayed, fat, happy, content and completely 'mesticated. I know it sounds stupid but I'm convinced Thomas sent them.

12. Second that

Have seen it happen over and over. Loving people will suddenly be choosen by a critter that seems to have just fallen out of the sky and literally onto their doorstep. When it happens, it is amazing and perhaps a message: "You were so good at loving me, I want you to love someone else too. It takes nothing away from the bond we had in life and will always have."

15. Yea I know

Another kitten will pick me out.

You picked a very kind, humane way of doing it though, and I'm sure Sebastian appreciated it.

17. I'm so sorry,

I've had to do that myself to way too many of my furry and so very much loved friends throughout the years. I know how it hurts, but you really did do the right thing.
